阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）aonce upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. he had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.one day he was walking along the shore（岸）. as he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. he smiled to himself and thought that someone would dance on the beach. so he began to walk faster to catch up.as he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.as he got closer he called out, “good morning! what are you doing?” the young man paused, looked up and replied, “throwing starfish(海星）in the ocean.” “i guess i should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”“the sun is up and the tide（潮） is going out. and if i dont throw them in, theyll die.”“but, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. you cant possibly make a difference!”the young man listened politely. then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “it made a difference for that one.”there is something very special in each and every one of us. we have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. and if we can know that gift, we will get the power to shape the future.we must each find our starfish. and if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.21. one day, the wise man saw the young man _. a. dancing along the beachb. walking with a dancerc. picking up starfish for saled. trying to save as many starfish as possible22. near the end of the passage, “something very special” refers to _. a. the gifts from friendsb. the strength of making decisionc. the starfishd.the ability of shaping ones own future23. from the last two paragraphs, we can learn that _.a. the wise man realized something new and importantb. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish in the oceanc. the young man saved lot of starfishes d. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach24. the writer told this story in order to show us _.a. how and where we can write a good articleb. everyone can do something for the futurec. wise men are sometimes stupidd. young people are actually wiser than old peoplebsome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions(爆炸）, ocean drilling, and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect（影响）. some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales. a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously do harm to some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染）. many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds dont agree on a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists doubt that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 25. according to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures? a. the man-made noises. b. the noises made by themselves. c. the sound of earthquakes. d. the sound of the ice-breaking. 26. as to the influence(影响）of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true? a. they are deaf to noises. b. noises at a certain level may hurt them. c. they are easily confused by noises. d. noises will limit their ability to reproduce. 27. we can know from the passage that many researchers think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would _. a. prevent them from doing their research work b. benefit them a lot in their research work c. do good to their health d. increase the industrial production 28. according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? a. they will try their best to save the whales. b. they will work hard to cut down pollution. c. they will study the effect of different noises. d. they will protect animals from harmful noises. cwhats on?macau neighborhood festival 2015various celebratory

activity for most us children, with the average 8 to 18-year-olds taking in 6.5 hours a day, a report has said. the study by the kaiser family foundation was one of the few national efforts to find our how much time children spend on television and other media(媒体). it was based on classroom questionnaires(问卷) given to more than 2,000 us schoolchildren in grades 3 to 13.just over half said their families had no rules on watching television. 68% said they had a television in their bedroom, half had a vcr or dvd player and 31% had a computer in the bedroom.the youngest children watched the most television, with 8 to 10-year-olds watching more than four hours a day on average, including video games. on the whole the children watched 3 hours and 51 minutes of television on average.however, the study found that children who reported spending the most time with their parents were also the ones who reported watching the most television. “perhaps thats how kids and their parents spend time together,” said the report. there was also a link(联系）between heavy use of video games and low grades, and this held true to a lesser degree for watching television or listening to music. fears（担心）that electronic（电子的）media would rob（抢走）children of more old-fashioned skills seem unfounded, the report finds. “in a typical day, nearly three out of four (73%) of young people report reading for pleasure,” the report reads. “on average, 8 to 18-year-olds spend about three-quarters of an hour a day reading,” it added. “interestingly, those young people who spend the most time watching tv (the 20% who watch more than five hours a day) dont report spending any less time reading than other young people do.”32. the kaiser family foundation must have visited some _ to make the survey. a.
